This document has been written for the purpose of defining the recommended features of police shotgun ammunition.
This document in its full extent can be used for type certification of a product. When using it to define the technical requirements for an invitation to tender a subset of the requirements can be selected and rated according to their importance to the procuring unit. A further subset can be defined for carrying out acceptance inspections of a manufacturing lot or for assessing and monitoring the current ammunition in use. It describes an open system of requirements for different types of ammunition recognizing that several different technical implementations may comply with the requirements and police needs.
Tactical environments may set differing priorities on requirements. Based on tactical views a suitable set of requirements can be chosen and their threshold values adjusted.
